>>23264562it's less that it's a nothing burger, and more that it's impossible to really predict any of this accurately
i'm sure amazing things will happen, but the abstract in-a-vacuum speculation and thought experiments almost never play out that way in practice
the scifi shit which HAS come true has been from exceptional people like mark zuckerberg reading snow crash in his youth & getting sugar plum fairies in his head, WHILE AT AN IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE DURING A VERY GOOD ECONOMY, and fulfilling it as best he could
the most perfect circumstances possible don't lead to any sort of half life combine, atleast not for several centuries
the globalism we have is flawed and chaotic still, and everyone is basically out for their own interests & not super focused on anything bigger
there are definitely processes happening, but there's too much chaos
